Hi Susan

I was a stage II back in Feb 2004 with negative nodes. They wound up doing a mastectomy, because they were unable to acheive clean margins with a lumpectomy. I did 4 rounds of dose dense AC and skipped the taxol because with neg nodes it was not strongly indicated. 18 months later I advanced to stage IV with liver mets. I regret not going all out full tilt and doing the taxol. So please, please, please, take every chance to be CURED rather than have any regrets.
